Veterans'
Benefits

Additional income to pay for home
care, assisted living, or nursing care.

It is surprising that roughly 1/3 of people over the age of 65 in this country have a potential for receiving a benefit. Only 5%, however, of potentially eligible veterans are actually receiving benefits.

My firm, Weatherby & Associates, PC, assists veterans and their surviving spouses and families in understanding how to obtain long-term care benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The attorneys in our firm were among the first in CT to have received accreditation by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide assistance to veterans by helping them plan for the future. I'm listed on the Web site of the Office of the General Counsel, www.va.gov/ogc/accreditation.asp.

I would be happy to provide you with information regarding the "aid and attendance benefit" and to work with vets and their families who may require assistance.

You can contact us through a request form here, and if you choose, I will send you the free booklet "Long Term Care Benefits for Veterans." This booklet describes the long term care benefits available to veterans or their surviving spouses while paying particular attention to the Pension, or, as it's more commonly called, the "aid and attendance benefit."

I am not affiliated or connected in any way with the US Department of Veterans Affairs.

Get up to $2,085 a month from the Department of Veterans Affairs for veterans who served on active duty during World War II, the Korean Conflict, or the Vietnam War. Get up to $1,130a month from the Department of Veterans Affairs for single widows or widowers of veterans who served on active duty.

Help You Pay for Care

This benefit can help you pay anyone including your child for home care. It can also be used to help you pay for professional care in the home, for assisted living, or for nursing home. Imagine having an extra $2,085 a month that you didn't even know existed. Request Help
